Display sample population size in chart i.e. n=X

[Dulouz]

Hi,

Does anyone know if Excel can display the sample group population within the
chart i.e. N=100, (if 100 people answered the question) obviously this can be
done manually but it would be cool if excel could do it itself.

The reason I want to do this is so the reader of the graph can gauge the
significance of the % figures, my chart is reading of a pivot table wich I
plan to update over time with new data so has to be dynamic, maybe there is
another solution which could work,

Thanks,

Here is one way.

If you create a formula in a cell with a count of the sample, and maybe some
explanatory text as well, you can use that in the chart title. Select the
chart title, and then in the formula
bar, add a reference to that cell, such as =Sheet1!D1 (include the sheet).
